Media Matters: The Palin chronicles

Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
This whole FARCE is custom made for cable news, not the MSM of network TV. The MSM cant cover something 24/7 like CNN or FOX can.
Cable news has no concience, so it thrives off of nonsense like this.
SEERYER: You obviously don't understand what 'OBJECTIVE' reporting is and should be. The unprofessionally of this lady only proves that the argument "journalism is dead" is correct. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with her statements, they were out of line. She was hired to REPORT news, not spew out seething, biased, and ignorant comments intentionally aimed at creating negative feelings towards these events. Report and let your viewers make their own opinions. If these were such atrocious gatherings, public sentiment would grow negative towards the protestors without her highly biased comments.
Tea baggers joke about Obama being waterboarded, shining the shoes of the Saudi king.
That brilliantly sums up the stupidity of the conservative movement and the ignorance of Fox viewers.

That was as good as some of Jay Leno's genius' that he features on his show. The brilliant California voters. Here is another example of the astute Obama supporters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uyJSXCZRpc&feature=related

Gee I saw signs against republicans also on her report. I did not here any cursing going on. I thought according to Schmuky Schumer traditional family values and a strong national defense were dead according to the Democrats.
"Schmucky Schumer?"
What is it about right wingers that their maturity level always seems stuck around the level of fifth-grader? Do you guys EVER grow out of the snarky name-calling stage?
Ding ding ding! Levin it is.
Y'know... it is sooooo easy figuring out who the wingnuts listen to based on what emanates from their mouths. They really cannot think for themselves, they have no original thoughts, they really are nothing more than poor deluded sheep - sheep who consistently fail to realize that the rightwing talkers really do not give a tinker's damn about them.
Have you ever paid attention to any of the brilliant [sic] reich-wingers who post here daily. Look through this thread, seems to me you only object to name calling from the Left. But that is the norm for you reich-wingers.
Watching your fellow reich-wingers have a hissy fit because the Democrats/Adults are in charge is proof that conservatives have no values or principals other than hate and stupidity.
And maybe you could fill us in on which Democrats have pronounced the end of Family Values and strong National Defense?
BTW, what do "Family Values" mean to you? Tax cuts for the wealthy, an end to Estate Taxes, and unnecessary wars against brown people who live above our oil, right?
I loved the REAL great one and am shocked Screaming Levin lifted his themesong. But fun stuff From wiki:
Gleason was a voracious reader of books on the paranormal, including parapsychology and UFOs.] He even had a house built in the shape of a UFO which he named "The Mothership".[7] During the 1950s, he was a semi-regular guest on the paranormal-themed overnight radio show hosted by John Nebel, and wrote the introduction to Donald Bain's biography of Nebel.[8] According to Gleason's second wife, Beverly McKittrick, he told her that U.S. President Richard Nixon took him on a secret visit to Homestead Air Force Base. There, Gleason allegedly saw an alien spaceship and dead extra-terrestrials.[
Yes you are right, it is a disgrace: http://liberalfascism.nationalreview.com/post/?q=OTEwYmM4OTE4ZTgzODJiYmE0NzU0NTdhNTUzMDhhYmE=
Watch the wingnuts scream out "brainwashing" "burn the books" "evolution crap". These wingnuts like christian6121485 are the real dangers in this country. Stupid yelling socialism , fascism......Teaparties....what a joke.

Why is the guy hiding behind sunglasses and a cap pulled down low?
You can't even walk into a bank these days, hiding your face like that... why was that guy hiding his face?
He's a librul! He's part of ACORN! Al Gore sent him! He's George Soros!!!
Looks to me the CNN reporter was not happy with the answers, why not let the father just talk instead of cutting him off. That was rude.
She's just doing a fine imitation of the tactics that Faux uses on a daily basis.
Faux does it on a daily baisis. How come you object to CNN and not the Fox reporter? http://www.thefreedictionary.com/hypocrite
Who claimed there were "signs for Fox"?
No, they are getting bang for their buck and bucks for their tea bag promotion: Fox Business' Asman tells viewers they "need to go" to tea party merchandise site "no matter what side of the issue you're on"
I hope this provides evidence that you need good hard certifiable proof when making an argument.
"Why is Obama a fascist?"
"Because he's a fascist."
"But why is he a fascist?"
"Because he is!"
Note to all you math geeks: "A = A, so A = the truth" is not a legitimate defense.
Did Susan attend this event and shove a mic in one of the protester's faces and argue with him? Did she ask the guy with the "war criminal" sign why he was calling the President of the US a war criminal? Nah......I didn't think so.
http://www.fightbacknews.org/2004/rnc/index.htm
Did CNN organize and promote this tea bag party or those anti-war events? Nah......I didn't think so.
Isn't wrong for an entire "news" network to promote and advertise for an anti-Democratic protest? Regardless, it is not the place of "news" outlet to advertise and promote a protest.
By the way, how come you reich-wign SCUM never get upset when Insean Vannity and O'Racist berates librul guests and talks over them as they try to answer a question? Typical hypocritical reich-wingers.
and talk over them as they try to answer her questions.
George Bush.....illegal wiretapping, cherrypicking and lying about intelligence, pre-emptive war while cutting taxes, approving of torture....
He is a war criminal !
George Bush.....illegal wiretapping
Well, well. Now that Barry O'Gump has EXPANDED the wiretapping, I guess we will see less and less of this tired left wing talking point.
Obama expands Bush's wiretapping
Didn't see this one on CNN or MSNBC did we? The silence is deafening.
Now that you have your childish rant out of your system, care to comment on Obama expanding the wiretapping?
I mean this was only THE leading issue on this forum for the last four years.
[edit] International law and practice
The term "unlawful combatant" has been used for the past century in legal literature, military manuals, and case law.[7] However, unlike the terms "combatant", "prisoner of war", and "civilian", the term "unlawful combatant" is not mentioned in either the Hague or the Geneva Conventions. So while the former terms are well understood and clear under international law, the term "unlawful combatant" is not.[3][8]
"He's a fascist!"
That's all that 'moran' could divvy-up on national tv, that Obama's a 'fascist'. I wonder if that man even knows what the word 'fascist' even means.
Wait. I noticed the Operation Chaos cap on his head. That's all I need to know... another drone who cannot think for himself and instead allows a drug-addled loser to do his thinking for him. Wonderful.
So... since FoxNoise went out of its way to promote this farce... this joke... this gathering of angry people... and violent erupts ... can we finally charge the Fox Corporation with
Inciting violence?
Mob action?
When you allow a group of people to gather that have no idea why they are gathering other than because Fox spread the rhetoric and those in the group have a clear message of hate in themselves... and there is NO WAY that Fox would not know this to be the case...
I might say that Fox should be ashamed of itself... but you have to be with human emotions first to feel any!
Yes I guess that free speech concept that you reich-wing speak of only apply to your side. How come dissent was unpatriotic when Bush was Pres but not now?
Sounds like you are describing Bill O'Racist.
Fairliberal sounds like a wingnut parrot.
Well first check this out and then tell me what is true .
GLICK: ... is that in -- six months before the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan, starting in the Carter administration and continuing and escalating while Bush's father was head of the CIA, we recruited a hundred thousand radical mujahadeens to combat a democratic government in Afghanistan, the Turaki government.
GLICK: ... is that in -- six months before the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan, starting in the Carter administration and continuing and escalating while Bush's father was head of the CIA, we recruited a hundred thousand radical mujahadeens to combat a democratic government in Afghanistan, the Turaki government. See that "starting in the Carter admin and continuing and escalating while Bush's father was head of the CIA, we recruited" That is just wrong , period. Bush did not serve under Carter . Look at the link I posted about our involvement wth the mujahadeen.
The United States began training insurgents in, and directing propaganda broadcasts into Afghanistan from Pakistan in 1978.[44] Then, in early 1979, U.S. foreign service officers began meeting insurgent leaders to determine their needs.[45] According to the then US Secretary of State Zbigniew Brzezinski, CIA aid to the insurgents within Afghanistan was approved in July 1979, six months before the Soviet Invasion.[46] Our involvement began in 1978 , after Bush's departure, get it now.
Yeah, I got a link for you - it's called American history. Did you not live through this time period? We were indirectly arming and training insurgents in Afghanistan as far back as 1975. Let me guess, you never heard of Afghanistan until the Soviet tanks moved in. Those insurgent groups that the Afghan government originally fought off in 1975 regrouped and with the help of Saudi Arabia and us became the mujahadeen. We were trying to entice the Soviet government to enter Afghanistan for years before the actual occupation.
Are you really this out of it? Ironically, this is exactly what Glick was trying to explain before your fearless leader cut him off and would not let him speak. I would not try to lay the entire blame for any of this on Bush or on Carter - as it was a long standing policy within our government and CIA. Glick may not have been either, we will never know because your idol - the chump O'Reilly does not allow open debate. The day it finally worked and the Soviet tanks moved in was seen as a resounding success by Carter and Brzezinski and the entire American defense department and CIA. Learn something would ya?
>>And Jeremy Glick did not say a true word in his entire statement. O'Reilly gave him a forum to state his case and he relied on left wing propaganda. He deserved exactly what he got.
What a hypocrite! O'Reilly's shouting down Glick, ultimately kicking him off the show, was one of the ugliest example of verbal bullying I have ever seen. Yet you cheer it on, at the same time complaining about conduct of the CNN. I asked you to give just one example of an untruth that Glick stated, and you couldn't even come up with *one!* Really, if Glick just spouted propaganda, you think you could have come up with just one example?
Open your eyes, my answer is above.
As to the first guy, I don't remember any CNN outrage during the Bush years when the President was called, "Hitler."
So this woman 'reporter' asks a guy for his opinion, and then interrupts him and won't let him finish his thought, arguing with what she 'knows' he is thinking (because she is obviously smarter and better informed about his opinion than he is).
That, people, is not reporting, that is advocacy. It is typical left wing thuggery posing as journalism. It is rude, obnoxious and unprofessional.
That, people, is why CNN is in the tank ratings-wise. And sadly, the good folks in this thread are applauding her arrogance and obviously hostile attitude.
Sad.
Frankly, I think she did them (and conservatives in general) a favor by moving on from them when she did.
As I watched this clip I thought it was a great example of the hypocrites on the left. If a Fox reporter interrupts a speaker, they are demonized but there was no objection to it in this clip. Why am I not surprised.
As I watched this clip I thought it was a great example of the hypocrites of the Reich-wing. When a Fox "reporter" interrupts a Left-winger, they are worshipped by fellow reich-wingers, but there is fake outrage and sreeching objection when a reich-winger is interrupted by an objective reporter. Why am I not surprised.
I don't think the President is a fascist, I am certain he is at the least a socialist. Nancy Pelosi may in fact more fit the stereotype of a fascist since she has said she'd like to give people birth control and abortion in order to reduce the number of people who need services.
What did you think of David Schuster's perverted speech about teabagging, something he obviously knows an awful lot about. Him and his other buddy Anderson Cooper. Very Classy. Can't Schuster speak without spitting all over himself? I wonder if NBC will be fined for this perversion during prime time. Is this the basis of these anchors debate the underlying meaning of teabagging?
In 1976, Ford brought George H. W. Bush back to Washington to become Director of Central Intelligence. He served in this role for 355 days, from January 30, 1976 to January 20, 1977.[22] The CIA had been rocked by a series of revelations, including those based on investigations by Senator Frank Church's Committee regarding illegal and unauthorized activities by the CIA, and Bush was credited with helping to restore the agency's morale.[23] In his capacity as DCI, Bush gave national security briefings to Jimmy Carter both as a Presidential candidate and as President-elect, and discussed the possibility of remaining in that position in a Carter administration[24] but it was not to be.
As always, you are wrong on the facts. Clearly Carter and H.W. Bush were both directly involved in the decisions to escalate and pursue the mujahadeen in Afghanistan. That is actually a historical fact. Also, as always. the facts you are disputing incorrectly have little to do with the actual argument. It is clear that you really have no intentions of an informed, intellectual, discussion. You spread propaganda and do whatever it takes to change the subject from the sad state of your political party and their shameless mouthpieces.
I tried not to humiliate you on this topic once again but you left me no choice. Let me know when you want to discuss the actual topic at hand because disproving your constant propaganda is too easy and frankly, beneath me. You should, however, be ashamed of yourself for your blind support of Bill O'Reilly and his pathetic attempt to shut off any debate with someone he supposedly invited on his show for an exchange of ideas. But, alas, like you he, too, is a propagandist.
Whatever happened to real journalism, where you are supposed to remain the calm, unbiased observer? Where you are supposed to report the facts, let the participants speak for themselves and the observers form their own opinion? She's an embarassment, with her huffing and puffing and exasperation.
Besides being shrill and unprofessional, she doesn't have her facts straight. The tea parties were grassroots-organized across the country. They were supported and promoted by Fox and our local talk radio station, but not thought-up by them and not run by them. I know the local organizer in my city and of a few other cities. Fox joined in but they did not start this.
